Infinite Simulation: From Konoha To Moon

Chapter 54: White Zetsu

After Li Xiang was covered in an unknown liquid, he felt a cool sensation all over his body.

Everything else was normal.

"Close your eyes and feel it with your heart."

The White Snake Sage tapped his pipe and said, "If you can't perceive and absorb natural energy, it means you are not compatible with Sage Mode."

Li Xiang sat down on the ground.

He had long noticed the dense magic power in Ryūchi Cave.

It felt like being immersed in sticky grease.

He felt a bit regretful.

During Fate/Stay Night, he should have asked his senior sister Astati if there were any divine magic of the gods he could learn.

Li Xiang followed the White Snake Sage's guidance to absorb natural energy.

"It seems Orochimaru was right."

The White Snake Sage showed a hint of surprise on his face.

In less than a minute, Li Xiang had already completed the first step successfully.

In her thousand years of experience, this undoubtedly ranked in the top three.

"Now comes the most difficult part, maintaining the balance between Chakra and natural energy."

The White Snake Sage's mood was unusually good, seeing Li Xiang's talent.

As a descendant of Ryūchi Cave, not being able to use Sage Mode was quite embarrassing.

Fortunately, Orochimaru's abilities were indeed impressive. If it were someone else, they would definitely not be well-received.

The most important thing is that there will always be someone better, just like how animals compare to each other.

Snakes and toads have never gotten along.

The White Snake Sage knew that Mount Myōboku had recently accepted a new disciple, who was said to be the Child of Prophecy.

The Great Toad Sage did something similar last time, and it seemed to be the Sage of Six Paths.

It would be quite uncomfortable if another one appeared.

The White Snake Sage raised his hand and flicked his middle finger, immediately waking up Li Xiang.

"Start over, stay focused."

"Thank you, Sage."

Li Xiang lowered his head and saw white scales appearing on the back of his hand.

Will Mount Myōboku turn into frogs and Ryūchi Cave turn into snakes?

Is the end result petrification?

Li Xiang just thought about it. He didn't want to test it on himself.

He remembered that Naruto was awakened by a black stick during his training.

This White Snake Sage felt quite good.

But what Li Xiang didn't know was that he was being treated favorably because of his talent.

If it were someone else, they might end up being eaten by the Three Snake Sisters.

Half a month later, Li Xiang learned Sage Mode.

He was a bit surprised at how fast he learned.

But he still didn't leave Ryūchi Cave or tell the White Snake Sage.

Because he wanted to experiment with more ratios.

The ninja world didn't have magic power, but it had natural energy of true ether. So Li Xiang wanted a way to dilute true ether to the level of modern magic power and combine it with natural energy to see if he could create a magician version of Sage Mode.

In Li Xiang's thoughts, Ryūchi Cave experienced its most painful ordeal in a thousand years.

Small explosions every three days, big explosions every seven days.

It sounded like firecrackers during the New Year.

When the White Snake Sage learned that the liquid stored in Ryūchi Cave was about to run out, her heart almost stopped.

She almost couldn't recover.

"White Snake Sage, just eat him, I can't stand it anymore!"

Turbid Current Princess scratched her red hair, her face full of killing intent.

"He wasted such a precious thing as dragon saliva, eating him would be too merciful!"

Mitsuki Island Princess clenched her small fist and said, "At least torture him for a few decades."

"That shouldn't be the case."

The White Snake Sage looked puzzled, her right hand still soothing her heart.

According to Li Xiang's talent, why couldn't he find a balance?

"Eating him or torturing him won't make any sense, and dragon saliva won't come back."

The White Snake Sage sighed, "The best solution now is to let him learn Sage Mode and serve Ryūchi Cave."

Hmm, this is a sunk cost.

Of course, Li Xiang didn't know the content of their conversation, nor did he dare to say anything about sunk costs in front of them.

His magician version of Sage Mode was already approaching perfection.

Just waiting for the return of the full moon to conduct the experiment.

After all, the two worlds are ultimately different, and the diluted magic may not necessarily meet the conditions completely.

But the method and experience have already been obtained, and the only thing left is a matter of time.

"The three-year period has come to an end, welcoming the return of the Dragon King!"

Li Xiang tried to twist his mouth and found it really difficult to twist it so high.

It's not entirely wrong to call him the Dragon King.

After all, this is Ryūchi Cave.

But he himself didn't expect it to take three years.

And he also sought guidance from Orochimaru.

In addition to practicing Sage Mode, Li Xiang often returns to the Hidden Sound Village.

Anyway, with the Reverse Summoning Technique, it's very convenient to come and go.

He also summoned a snake as a summoning beast.

A green snake.

I don't know if it's the same one as Sasuke's.

But its strength is decent.

Named Xiaoqing.

Li Xiang arrived at the White Snake Sage's temple and found that the Three Snake Sisters were also there.

This is rare.

But he didn't ask why.

"White Snake Sage, I have already learned Sage Mode and have come to bid you farewell."

Li Xiang bowed and said.

"You've learned it?"

The White Snake Sage was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "You've finally learned it."

There was a sense of relief in her words.

There's no way, she was responsible for teaching him the secret arts.

If there were any problems, she would have to deal with them.

Li Xiang smiled apologetically and said, "Thanks to your care over the past three years, I have achieved such success."

He said it sincerely.

Ryūchi Cave has indeed treated him well.

"It's okay, just don't embarrass us in the future."

The White Snake Sage waved her hand and said, "Go quickly."

There was a hint of urgency in her calm tone.

Li Xiang returned to the Hidden Sound Village.

"Another failure."

As soon as he entered the laboratory, he heard Orochimaru speaking.

"How can we enhance the control ability of the Impure World Reincarnation?"

Orochimaru looked pensive.

Li Xiang knew what he was troubled by.

In the past three years, the improved version of the Impure World Reincarnation was almost perfect.

Even if the summoned powerhouses couldn't reach their peak, they still had about ninety percent of their strength.

But the problem was Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama.

They understood the Impure World Reincarnation and knew how to undo it.

If they were summoned at their peak, wouldn't it be inviting trouble?

But if they weren't summoned, Orochimaru didn't have the confidence to carry out the Leaf Village Collapse Plan.

Unless he brought the Akatsuki with him.

Orochimaru didn't want to.

His idea was actually quite simple.

By attacking the Leaf Village and obtaining the Mangekyō Sharingan, his strength would greatly increase, and then he could eliminate the Akatsuki and obtain the Rinnegan.

Hmm, Orochimaru didn't know that the Rinnegan was evolved from the Mangekyō Sharingan.

He thought that having the Mangekyō Sharingan might give him a chance to obtain the Rinnegan.

Because he was really envious.

The Rinnegan was the eye of the Sage of Six Paths, and if he could obtain it, perhaps he could glimpse a higher level of existence.

In a sense, the experiments Orochimaru conducted with Hashirama's cells and the Sharingan were actually a path to the Sage of Six Paths.

And it was the correct path.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Li Xiang suggested, "Perhaps we can try to focus on the sacrifices and find some unique beings that are close to humans."

Orochimaru was slightly taken aback by the suggestion.

He immediately thought of White Zetsu and couldn't help but shift his gaze.
